The performance ended soon, while Taani, Rishi were meeting a few clients in the event, when swayam joined them.

Rishi - Mr. Singh ye h meri daughter, u must b knowing her.... Strategy manager of Kanakia. N ye mera beta h... Abi Jo performance hui, usme ye lead tha.
Mr. Singh - Oo right. Ur performance was outstanding!
Swayam - thank you sir.

He says shaking his hand.

Mr. Singh - and obviously Ms. Shekhawat ko kaun nhi janta. Her strategies are always mind bobbling. No wonder aapki companies itni profit me h.
Rishi - meri beti ki jitni tareef ki jaye utni km h.
Mr. Singh - u must be a proud father. Ms. Shekhawat definitely aapka naam uncha kr rhi h.

The talks made swayam a bit uncomfortable.

Swayam looked at taani n smiled.

Taani left for the Green room to meet Rey.

Taani - aapko kisi ne btaya nhi, question k badle me answer diye jate h,  1 naya question nhi!!
Raghav - logically question to phle maine puchha tha.

By the time Punit arrives.

Punit - taani, I've been searching for u since an eternity!!!!

Punit - mujhe tumse performance k payment ki baat karni thi.

Raghav looked at taani suspiciously while taani took punit in the corner to discuss.

Taani - 1 lac for solo n 5 lac for the group... Plus properties n costume 1 lac... So total 10 lac ka chq bna dijiye aap.
Punit - fine.

Taani searched for Rey but couldn't find him so she mentally noted to have a word with him.
